481 of histograms while an eventloop is running (MStatusDisplay,
482 an example can be found at status.C)
483

520 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
521 have any neighbour)
522
523 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from

578 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
579 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
580 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
581
582 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
583 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
584

586 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)

594
595 - Added a _preliminary_ version of the reader for CT1 PreProc files
596 (MCT1ReadPreProc)
597
598 - Fixed the error calculation of MHMCollectionArea and MHMcIntRate
599 (thanks to Raquel)
600
601 - added the first energy estimator (MEnergyEstParam, estimate.C,
602 estfit.C) using a parametrization
603
604 - Added some new Monte Carlo paremeter containers used to store
605 setup information from the MC chain (MMcConfigRunHeader,
606 MMcCorsikaRunHeader, MGeomPMT, MGeomMirror)
607
608
609
610 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
611
612 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
613 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
614 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
615 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
616
617 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
618 for the collection area calculation
619
620 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
621 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
622
623 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
624 of one container
625
626 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
627 ascii file
628
629 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
630 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
631 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
632 hillas parameters)
633
634 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
635 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
636 see MHillas and MHillasExt
637
638 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
639 see MHillasSrc
640
641 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
642 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
643 all histograms)
644
645 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
646
647 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
648
649 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
650
651 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
652 an output stream instead of the whole container only
653
654 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
655 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
656
657 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
658 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
659
660 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
661 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
662
663 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
664
665 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
666 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
667 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
668
669 - Added:
670 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
671 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
672 they are needed in the flux calculation in
673 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
674 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
675 of Theta and the true energy
676
677 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
678 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
679 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
680 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
681 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
682 by unfolding
683
684 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
685
686
687
688 *** Version 0.6 (2002/01/15)
689
690 - Introduce the option of disable pixels (MBlindPixels and
691 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
692 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
693
694 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
695
696 - Introduced verbosity levels
697
698 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.
699
700 - Fixed several bugs in MFTriggerLvl1 which caused to filter not to
701 work correctly (thanks to Abelardo)
702
703 - Introduced correct treatment of the diffuse Night Sky Background
704 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
705
706 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
707
708 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
709
710 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
711 of a parameter container for each event
712
713 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
714
715 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
716
717 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
718 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
719 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
720
721 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
722 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
723 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
724
725
726

730
731 - Added a camera display to be able to display events in the camera
732 together with the calculated hillas ellipse
733
734 - Added a 'Clone'-Task (MClone) which can clone a parameter container
735 object at any state of the analysis, so that the output are several
736 states
737
738 - Fixed a bug in the collection area error calculation
739 (Thanks to Ciro and Abelardo)
740
741 - Fixed a bug which causes merpp to crash in some environments
742
743 - Implemented auto enabling scheme for Branches to speed up reading
744 a lot (see MReadTree and MTask)
745
746 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
747 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
748
749 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
750 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
751 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
752
753 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
754 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
755
756 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
757 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
758
759 - Changed the code to writer merpped (converted into root format)
760 raw files, to get faster (around 10%)
